Exploring Types of Verbs and Their Functions

The video tutorial introduces verbs, explaining their types: action, linking, and auxiliary verbs. Action verbs are further divided into transitive, intransitive, dynamic, and stative verbs. Linking verbs connect the subject to a noun or adjective, while auxiliary verbs, including primary and modal auxiliaries, help form tenses and express modality. The tutorial concludes with a summary and encourages viewers to take a quiz.
